Cured in the parlor of the girls home.
Miss Jude was sitting in chair, and
Bowser was standing beside her. He suddenly
drew a revolver, saying: ''If you will not marry
me, you shall not marry any man." and fred.
The ball struck her on the side of the head, and
glanced off, but knocked her down. Placing the
pistol to her right cheek he fired again. the ball
passing through her brain. The girl never
uttered a cry. Bowser then placed the pistol to
his chin and fired. What occurred after
that is a mystery. When the authori
ties arrived the parlor carpet was
covered with blood. The dead girl lay on the
floor, and Bowser lay on his face on the side

The physicians say it was impossible for Bowser
to shoot himself in the forehead after the chin

SOLD HIMSELF TO AN ARAB.

Remarkable Expedient Adopted by DIR. Jun
ker to Get Out of Central Africa.
New York Sun.
Not a few people have wondered how DR.. Jun
ker, who has just returned to civilization from
Central Africa, succeeded in passing safely
through the hostile tribes in the lake region.
The mystery is explained at last, and DR.. Jun
ker deserves credit for invenring an ingenious
method of reducing danger to minimum in
traversing unfriendy parts of Africa.
Before going far from Albert Nyanza he ascer-
tanned that there was no hope of his getting
through the territory of the Waganda and one
or two other hostile tribes without aid. II he
was not murdered he would at least be detained
as prisoner. Now and then Arab trading
caravan was starting for the coast, but the
Arabs were afraid to appear TO befriend him, as
they could not afford to incur the i'll will of the
native king.
In this emergency the novel idea occurred to
DR.. Junker to sell himself as a slave to one of
the Arab traders. A bargain was struck, and
he ostensibly became the property OF the trader.
The contract stipulated that the Arab for the
sum of 800 Austrian dollars, was to deliver the
traveller alive at Zanzibar, where, upon presen-
tation of the contract, the money would be paid
to him by firm doing business there. 1t hap
pened that DR.. Junker had with him an order
written in Arabic by this firm, authorizing him
to make any desirable arrangements with the
Arab traders OF Central Africa.
So Dr. Junker set out with his Arab caravan,
which took him straight into the lions den, or,
in other words, into the chief town of M'wanga,
the cruel despot Of Uganda The chief trader
represented that Junker was not his friend or
travelling companion. but was his slave, whom
he had bought of negro tribe further
north In his capacity as slave, DR.. Junker
passed muster in the court of King M'wanga,
and he was permitted to 60 in peace with his
owner
Anyone who has seen q likeness of Dr. Junker,
taken since his return to Egypt, cannot fail to
have been struck by the deep lines Of care and
anxiety that the past seven years Of life in saw
age wilds have stamped upon his face DIR.
Junker is q very exceptional man, for he has
wealth, and could il he wished. lead a life OF
ease but his devotion to science has led him to
deny himself all the pleasures of civilization, and
for years subject himself to remarkable hard
ships and deprivations

up, and during the remainder of the day in the
death chamber there was no cessation of curses
against ''thoso hangmen." Before evening a
copy of the Arbeiter Zeitung had arrived con-
tanning an article declaring that Mrs. Neebe had
died Of broken heart, caused by the convic-
ton of her husband. The article concluded as
follows: ''She and our friend Oscar Neebe are
victims Of the capisalistic nand of conspirators
known as the Citizens Association. and Of
in conjunction with an odious, lying
press. serving the enemies Of the people, have
murdered the brave woman, and made children
not of age orphans. They will reap the curse Of
the present and the contempt of the coming gen.

crowded with excited people. A committee had
been formed to make arrangements for the
funeral, and they decided to postpone 1t, II pos
sible, until Sunday. and make it the occasion of
Socialistic demonstration.
Sheriff Matson has expressed his intention to
allow Nebee to attend the funeral, accompanied
by an officer.

written to the papers in explanation of his atti
tnde on the rent question Ho says he has pro-
posed nothing. nor has be made any recon-
mendation relative to taxes. He has simply ex-
pressed an opinion concerning the relative value
OF the notax manifesto and the no rent mani

stitutional agitation for the restoration of ma
fional rights for Ireland. Under existing condi
